Touch My Hand (My Efforts for Her)

[K. Anthony Almario]

Hi guys,

I appreciate it that you guys viewed my Lady Gaga video.My Mom loved it and had it on her Facebook Account.Well I should say that not all are sunshines for me.You see, I have this older video, and I made this for a girl that I liked on her birthday.I posted it on Facebook for her to view.We don't exactly live in the same city.She lives some good 30 minutes to an hour drive from my city. I expressed in it how I miss her and all while keeping things cool. She's a more "I don't want a boyfriend" type of girl, but I'm hoping her views will change when I made this magic video for her.And I was hoping she would open her heart to me.

But alas guys, she said she liked the video, but she grew distant from me week after week.It was clear that she rejected me. Nevertheless, here's my video.Its blocked in some countries, but I reckon most of you can view it.Thanks again...

According to Chris Rhandall, magic becomes an art when you express your life through it. I expressed my feelings for her in this video and through my magic.But still...there are some things that magic can't change.Nevetheless, in that moment and in my intention, Magic indeed became an art...Thanks guys...

Ok...

I want to tell you to forget about the girl...life is to short to be around a girl that doesn´t appreciate you..

A lot of us has been rejected by girls before...as a short story, I liked this girl in college, I was practically in love with her, but she didn´t feel the same way, but it took her a year to tell me, in the meantime I did a lot of things for her, a lot!!...WTF?!!! glady I have changed...I can safely tell you that this video won´t change her mind...please...get over it...such is life

Please, there are a lot of girls in this planet and I am sure there´s a lot there...(unless you are of course Adam and the girl is called Eva) and I know maybe you think this is the girl for you...but trust me...if she doesn´t like you now, she won´t like you in the future, because maybe you are not meant to be....so go ahead and find the girl that is going to love just the way you are...

A girl should love/like you for the things you do, and for who you are.

I have been lucky in that the girl I am with now I have been with for over a year, and she is the first girl I have ever been with. We started dating the summer after my 10th grade year and I am now a senior.

Believe me, she supports my magic 100% (in fact she got me back into it by buying me some spongeballs).

Honestly man, most girls would think what you did was super sweet, and if she doesn't like it, or like you, I am sure she is probably missing out...most guys would just go buy her something...not many would take the time and effort to really create a unique, and heartfelt gift for her, like you did.

There are others out there my friend

Firstly I would like to appologise in advance because this will sound harsh.

Assuming she is a very lovely girl there is only going two types of attention that you will get from this video. Firstly it was a nice gesture and secondly that you are talented / clever. All you really did was a few colour changes and printed some names on cards. You are missing the most important part magic and most far and away the most important aspect of dating. There was no connection to the girl. Honestly she was probably saying she liked it to be polite. The fact you stole her photos is straight creepy.

I have done many 'magic' things for girls on their birthday however they are always performed live. And they all involve the girl a lot. If you have to do a YouTube video for her use make it relate to her or a moment you two had, a demonstration is synchronicity something more than changing playing cards. If you have to do that make the words appear that are reasons you like her or something.

Your intentions were good and I am sorry they didn't work out.

However, if she means so much to you, than why put up mediocre sleights? You flashed on EVERY single palm you did, and your other changes had mistakes/ mess ups as well. Why would you not re-shoot them to be able to make them perfect for her?

Yep, that was straight forward, and I do get your point head on. No problem man.I'm over her, and I'll find that girl whose going to love me for the way I am. Thanks for your words, means a lot...

That's hot man. Do keep that girl of yours, its quite rare here to find a partner that supports what we do.I'm in a place with less magicians, and even lesser people with such interests.anyways,thanks man...You made me fill unique...Hehehe

Thanks for the points...How I wished I could perform live to her on her birthday. And how I wished I had more resources and time to pull the video.I agree that they were just color changes and the palms are flashing.I have my reasons of screwing those up.And I like your idea about the synchonicity and words that describe why I liked her.
Next time I do make a magic video for a girl I'm gonna keep you posted dude.Its nice to have some professional advice. No harsh comments taken D ICE R, I believe they are constructive.
The pictures were suppose to be her surprise and it was one of the stuff she liked and practically laughed in the video.Thanks by the way...

These guys have all given you some really solid advice. Would just like to add that you're right about one thing though - good magic is meaningful, so you're on the right track there!

 

[Rneogy]

I really think that the live thing would have been much better. But seriously, if she lives half an hour to forty minutes away, how can you even expect to date her? It's a little too late for that. Just my 2 cents.

Well.. I think long distance can work... but this isn't the place to discuss that.

 

[RikAllen]

I did not watch the video, I will after, but the advice given already is pretty damn good. I've never used magic to impress a girl I liked, thought I've done it for people on their birthdays. It's always better live, even if that means skype, and will never win someone over. You have to do that yourself, don't hide behind clever tricks-no matter how deep or meaningful they are.

Me and my girlfriend were almost an hour apart for 6 months and then almost 4 hours apart for another 4...we live together now (thank joe pesci...my cars milage was getting high quick) and I'm glad I let it work out.

With that said, when we met she was closer 10 minutes away at school and only lived 20 minutes away. She moved to an hour away and then to school in a different state. Long distance can work, but you need a solid relationship before you're apart. It's hard to start dating when you can't regularly see each other.

oh we do know about you and your spongeballs. or sorry, ear wax?

 

[Blindside462]

More power to you man.

I've been dating the same girl for over 2 years, we spend pretty much everyday together aside from the days we go and spend time with other friends or have week(s) long family trips..fireworks went off July 4th . And she supports my magic. I mean...dang yesterday I was with her while I was making up my Extreme Burn gimmick.

Just a word of advice. You may be head over heels but don't set yourself up for disappointment. I'm sorry about your situation. You will find that person. Your young and maybe you'll have to go through a few...or maybe even more than a few. Live is short, live it up.

 

[mr_magic]

actually sometimes we love more magic than girls,but theres some girls so cute and pretty that makes forget magic for a second!

K. Anthony -

Unfortunately, your thoughts are all too common among guys today. Most of the advice you've gotten here is pretty useless in the real world and doesn't really translate to any real understanding.

Rest assured this girl isn't a "I don't want a boyfriend" type....she just doesn't want you as a boyfriend because everything you think you should say or do to attract women are completely incorrect and actually achieves the opposite affect.

This isn't the place for this so I won't get into it, but for your sake read the posts in the following order:
